Punters back Thierry Henry to replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal boss

Ancelotti and Simeone also proving popular

Thierry Henry is the most popular pick with punters to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

Wenger is now just 1/5 to not be in charge on the opening day of next season. And Henry has emerged as the people’s choice to take over at the Emirates.

Henry is still adored by the Gunners’ fans for his unforgettable displays up front. He’s a 15/2 shot but it seems plenty of the support would be happy if he gets the job.

Carlo Ancelotti’s (12/5) experience makes him the second-most popular selection. Diego Simeone (12/1) in third has had plenty of backing too.

Germany boss Joachim Low leads the betting at 3/1, but he’s down in fourth amongst the punters.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “It’s looking increasingly likely Wenger will call time on his Arsenal career when the season comes to a close, and if the popularity charts are anything to go by, it’s Henry who’ll be stepping in to replace his former boss.”
